South City Way (Victoria Rd and connections)

@timbaNachtegaalstraat, Utrecht, has bus stops directly in the carriageway. As @i put it: "Buses can avoid pulling into and out of the layby, making a smoother and quicker journey for bus passenger." It was one of the good things in the Byres Road proposals.

That design was specifically requested by the bus companies for Bearsway to reduced journey times, I’d imagine the same for this. Rarely gets a mention in the press though, it’s always about private cars isn’t it?

At the recent Battlefield consultation, a timescale of 2.5 years was mentioned for completing the construction of the SCW from Queens Park to the Clutha junction. The GCC officer was expressing his frustration at this long timescale.

He's not alone in feeling the frustration - especially when they can do pointless cycle infrastructure (well, some of it is purely shared pavement, but not all) associated with Fastlink before a hat has had time to drop.

Given that the Sauchiehall St avenue work is due to start a year after the original date, 2.5 years actually sounds optimistic I fear. Hope I'm wrong.
